Thread: Got my compressor

Tweet

Went to harbor Freight today. I got the 8 gallon, 2 hp, 125psi compressor. On sale for $89.99 and 20 % off. 71.99. Happy.

Good deal, Now your ready to fire up some pneumatic props !!

Oh I already have one. But my buddy came and picked up the compressor he had stored in my garage for 4 years. Had to spring for one.

Awesome deal. I am very satisfied with mine but I paid about 100 bucks for mine.

Nice! I am in the process of finding one now. What are you planning on using the air compressor for?

I am trying to find something for my trash can trauma, but i dont know what to look for in terms of CFM and things like that. I'd hate to buy one and have it break 3 scares into the night!

I am using mine for the pop up you see in the post. I am not even sure what CFM is or how it applies to props. Pardon my ignorance. The compressor I was using was quite bigger than this one but I think it should work well.

CFM=Cubic Feet per Minute, - PSI=Pounds per Square Inch,......... basically,these are how you technically rate / measure anything your trying to move under flow or pressure.

a 1/2 - 3/4 HP compressor with a 4-5 gal tank is sufficient to run 1 or 2 pneumatic props for the nite. The bigger the tank the better, same with HP, bigger always better !!
